Fitbit 3 vibration

[lizaberg]

Does anyone else find the vibration on the new charge 3 EXTREMELY strong!

How do you do this please mine doesn't vibrate at all

Mine barely ever vibrates, and even on strong it’s not noticeable!

Yes, it is kind of a downer when you miss one hour by a few steps because
you don’t feel it vibrate. Hang in there though ... each step is one more
in the right direction. 😊

I find the Charge 3 vibration really strong. Coming from a Blaze, the alarms NEVER woke me up! These do, even on normal. Very happy with that.

A weaker vibration option would also save battery.

I would want a "No vibration" setting.  These jarring shocks are disturbing!

If I turn off notifications, what all will I be losing?

Does anyone feel the different vibration strength between normal and strong?

Or they both feel the same?

[MisFit50]

Feels the same to me.

Thank you @MisFit50 for answering my question. Hopefully Fitbit will fix it soon.

There is NO difference between normal and strong.  they are both 'super strong'

[WPaul]

I agree - and they are both too strong.

I find the vibration far too strong too. There isn’t a perceptible different between normal and strong. A gentle/quiet mode would make the watch much better.

i loved the relax setting on my charge 2, it helped me get to sleep. I can’t use it on the charge 3, as it’s so loud and strong that it stops me getting to sleep, the vibration is so loud it disturbs my husbands sleep. Will you be adding a gentle mode? The relax function is something I loved and used a lot in the charge 3, but can’t use on the charge 3 due to the strength and volume of the vibration.

The vibrations are SUPER strong and disruptive!  Please create an update asap!

The strength of the vibration doesn’t bother me but the NOISE it makes can be heard by everyone around me. I teach and I don’t want my students to hear the vibrations. I’m about to turn the notifications off but that defeats the purpose of the feature.

I have just bought a Charge 3 and buzz for the 'normal' and 'strong' vibrations feel the same to me, which is too strong, both vibrations and sound. Even my son's £20 smart watch offers gentler buzz. Enough for you to notice but not for anybody else in the room. One of the reasons why I bought a smartwatch after 20 years with my analogue watch was because I wanted to get notifications. If I have to turn the notifications off in the end then I will have to return the watch, which is a shame as I think it is a great watch. A gentle buzz would be definitely welcome by many users. I also do not understand why some people have the same issue as me and others say that they cannot feel/hear the vibrations. Is it that one of us has got a faulty watch?

I find the alarm notifications very strong.... But the hourly step
reminders are still either weak or works on intermittent hours making it
very difficult to get a good “score.” For the day. 😔
